Novak Djokovic has shared a special message to his teammate Roger Federer following the pair’s Laver Cup victory.

Djokovic competed in doubles with Federer for the first time in their careers at the event in Chicago, playing for Team Europe against Team World, but for Djokovic, the Laver Cup experience was about far more than the result.

The Serbian opened up on the special bond he shared with the Swiss maestro during their weekend together as teammates, and even some of the things the two talked about together.

“I think having a legend, Bjorn Borg, sitting on the bench and having Roger (Federer) and the other guys supporting you after every single point, standing up and cheering you on, and having John McEnroe on the opposite bench, you know, it’s quite unique,” Djokovic said.

AMAZING WEEK OF TENNIS WITH ALL THESE GUYS! It was such an honor to be part of it with some of the best players of our sport in both teams. Congratulation @lavercup for being such a fantastic event! Thank you to my team and thank you Chicago for unforgettable memories 🙏🏻🇪🇺🏆 pic.twitter.com/BCoMpLy009

Tennis world erupts over ‘insane’ Roger Federer moment

Roger Federer has sent tennis fans into a frenzy with some incredible words of wisdom for Alexander Zverev at the Laver Cup.

Team Europe retained the Laver Cup on Monday (AEST) after Alexander Zverev beat Kevin Anderson to give Bjorn Borg’s side an unassailable 13-8 lead in the team event.

Zverev won the final five points of the match to defeat Anderson 6-7 (3-7) 7-5 (10-7) and increase Team Europe’s advantage to an unassailable 13-8 – denying a final deciding rubber scheduled between Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios.

However it was an ‘insane’ mid-match pep talk from Federer to Zverev that was the major talking point afterwards.

Zverev had just dropped the first set to Anderson and appeared to be struggling with the big South African’s serve.

Enter Federer, who showed off his incredible tennis IQ with some words of wisdom that turned the tide for Zverev.

“You can return from where Bjorn (Borg) said or you can find your return position,” he said.

Plus his earlier comments about not losing energy, not getting frustrating, and keeping the crowd engaged. The coaching from #Federer has been exceptionally good. The amount he's giving Zverev shows how closely he's been watching him and how much he wants him to succeed beyond LC
